The SparkFun A111 Pulsed Radar Breakout brings 60 GHz pulsed coherent radar (PCR) to your projects. The Acconeer A111 is a single-chip radar sensor with an integrated antenna and SPI interface (up to 50 MHz), capable of high-precision distance measurement as well as gesture, motion, material, and speed detection at distances up to two metres.

The breakout includes a 1.8V regulator and voltage-level translation, with all sensor pins broken out to both 0.1" headers and a Raspberry Pi-compatible 2×13 header. It's designed to sit directly on a Raspberry Pi but can also be manually wired to other ARMv7 or ARM Cortex-M4 platforms.
